It's official, we're having a Summer Solstice Party on Friday, June 22 and we'd love to have you join us. It's happening at the Cryder homestead (2307 River Road - if you've never been to our house before, it's easy to find: we're just south of the Clark Fork River, on River Road between Russell and Reserve - look for our mailbox; we're down the alley next to it).
This will be an informal affair. We'll be firing up the barbeque around 7 PM, and hanging out around the firepit until Midnight (at least). You are welcome to come when you can and stay for as long as you'd like. If you feel like bringing something - fine wine, great beer, and a friends of all sorts are always welcome. Those who appreciate a fine cigar might want to bring some of those along as well.
Additionally, if you have an artistic talent, we'd love to have you share it with us - sing a song, share a poem, spin a yarn. We enjoy this kind of thing, especially on a fine summer evening around a fire with friends. We think some of the best art happens "off the record" in community settings like these.
So slow down, and enjoy the longest day of the year. Before you know it, the summer will be over. Time to make the most of it while you still can.
If you're interested in coming, please RSVP to Christian, or call me at 529-5568. Holler if you have questions.
(ps - some people find it odd that followers of Jesus would throw parties like this; if you're curious about the theological rationale behind it, you might want to listen to Tim Keller talk about Jesus as Lord of the Wine)
